Photoshop Elements 8 Commercial Use Questions

I am planning to record a youtube video of me doing a "speedpaint" video as they're called by many on the internet where I will paint something using Photoshop Elements 8 and am wondering if it's ok to show Photoshop's User Interface in the video... And also if it's ok for me to "monetize" the speedpaint video of me painting with youtube's ad revenue service, the focus is on me painting the video, so i am wondering what the official word on this is. I would also like to know if Photoshop Elements 8 can be used for commercial purposes, for instance if I create a painting or any kind of jpeg using Photoshop Elements 8, will I be able to benefit commercially off of my artwork by selling the digital artwork? I am confused now because of something I read. Any help would be much appreciated!

Well I'm just a random guy who happened to see your post on the Adobe forums. I don't work for Adobe so don't take my view as gospel.
What you're planning probably won't incur the wrath of Adobe but you won't know that until they decide to issue you with a cease-and-desist letter. I doubt that they will.
I've seen projects such as yours done countless times without incident. Doesn't make it OK and does not mean that Adobe condones it or gives any kind of permission to do so.
What is certain though is that you are definitely permitted to use Adobe software for commercial purposes ie. make money off it. Even students can do that with the Educational version.

Photoshop Elements 8 Commercial Use

I need to know if it is ok to use an image (jpeg) I created using Photoshop Elements 8 commercially as I wish to post this image on a Social Network that can potentially sell your photos. I need an answer from an Official Adobe Employee who knows the answer to this. I cannot seem to find a clear explanation to this question in the Terms and Conditions of Photoshop Elements 8 or anywhere else. So please if this could be answered once and for all it will put my mind to ease.

You can copyright whatever you want, but see my post in your other thread.

Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?

Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?
Also why is there no customer service phone number associated with Adobe Photoshop? It makes me hesitant to purchase from a company that refuses to offer support. I guess I'm asking a question on a forum and the company directed me to.??

Yes, you're permitted to activate the software on a maximum of two computers at the same time.

Can I use the songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use/film?

Can I use the default songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use; such as in a film?

We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user.
In the threads that I have read here the following is the user to user reply on this matter that is seen regarding project assets....Music Scores in this case....
The Music Score soundtracks are from the Adobe Premiere Elements (12 or 13) Music Score selections within the program.
And, they can be used in the users choice of export. As for "authorship", I guess you would point to Adobe, Premiere Elements version, Music Score.
Would the evaluators settle for the above information?

Photoshop Elements Serial Number Deactivation Question

I bought Photoshop Elements 8.0 a few years back and have been using it happily and successfully since. However, I have now run into a serial number activation problem that will not allow me to use the software. The error given is: "Our records indicate that this serial number has already been used to set up and activate Photoshop Elements 8.0 on two other machines, which is the maximum allowed."
Of course, it is simple enough to deactivate a computer if that computer is accessible, but therein lies the problem. One of the two machines that is taking up my activations is my old Macbook, which experienced a total motherboard failure in March 2-13. I restored onto my new Macbook from a Time Machine backup, but when I did so, PSE required me to re-enter my serial number. This was easy enough, but it considers this new Macbook to be a third activation and thus will not allow me to use the software. And, of course, given that my previous Macbook is dead and gone, I cannot access my old Macbook to deactivate the software there.
What can I do to solve this?
Computer specifications: Macbook Pro, 15" (bought 2013). Mac OS X Version 10.8.5. 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 8 GB of RAM. The software is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0

Photoshop Elements 8 Slideshow transition question

Hi,
I'm creating a slideshow using Photoshop Elements 8 and can't seem to figure out how to have the pan/zoom effect per picture continue through my transitions. I was able to successfully have pan/zoom work through my dissolves when I created a slideshow in PS Elements 7... but now it's been awhile since I've done it and I'm now using PS Elements 8. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Leann

Maybe I'm not seeing what you are... but when I'm in PS 8 editor, I see that I can change from a fade to a wipe, etc. But I still don't see a button that will make the photo continue to pan/zoom through the transition. What happens is the outgoing picture freezes when the next picture starts to fade in with the pan/zoom. I know I did it in past versions... just don't remember how I did it. Am I making sense? I just want to have the incoming and outgoing pictures continue to pan/zoom throughout the transitions. Maybe I just haven't followed your instructions fully?

Premiere Elements for commercial use

Can I use Premiere Elements 12 for commercial use , like videos I make for training modules that I sell?
I looked in the EULA and buried in section 16.14 and 16.15 is reference to non-commercial use due to encoder patents. But nowhere is a straight forward yes or no for commercial use.
Thanks for anyone that knows about this

You are most welcome.
Going way back, Adobe once had a restriction on material produced with the academic versions (like Student & Teacher editions) of some of its programs. I do not recall the exact timing, but would say that they relaxed that restriction about 10 years ago.
Also, as Neale points out, the PrE Projects are not X-platform, but if one considers the Mac and the PC, they can output files (from the PrE Project) that ARE X-platform, for delivery. I am not exactly sure how you are referring to X-platform, but if the intent is to edit a Project between a Mac and a PC, then Neale's caveat will be very important. Though the Project file (PREL) looks the same (basically an XML database file), they are significantly different, that a PREL from a Mac, will not Open on a PC. For delivery of a finished AV file (your instructional video, in this case), if one selects say AVCHD (H.264 CODEC) for the output, that file will be viewable on both a Mac and a PC, so long as each computer has a viable version of the H.264 CODEC installed, and most will, or the user can add it. It's the same with most MOV files - so long as the PC has Apple's QuickTime Player installed. When you get to the point of delivery, do not hesitate to stop back, if you need a bit more input from the forum. Some of us have both a Mac and a PC (Steve Grisetti, for instance), but many more are tasked with X-platform delivery quite often.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Should I re-install Photoshop Elements 10 installed using wrong disk (Disk 1 32bit on a 64 bit CPU)?

I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 using Disc 1 for Windows 32 bit on a Windows 7 64 bit computer instead of using the correct Disk 2. Should I uninstall and re-install using Disc 2 in order to get the full benefits of the program, or does the Disk 1 software detect the correct operating system and install the correct version any way?

Unless you're also installing PRE (bundle) or the PRE trial (PSE only version), you're fine, since PSE is always 32 bits.

Unable to Load Photoshop Elements from DVD using Internet Explorer 10. Error: need IE 4 or Higher

Upgrading my Laptop and moving my Photoshop Elements (~2010) to my Windows 7 machine. Message says I need Internet Eplorer 4.0 or greater. I'm on IE 10.

That's a bug in the Adobe installer which seems to think IE10 is IE1.
Either put IE10 into IE9 or lower mode using Compatibility View.

Or simply use a different browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox.

How many machines can a Photoshop Elements license be used on?

I have just bought Photoshop Elements 13 for a laptop and I am wondering if I can use the same license on a new desktop computer when I get it.

The only place I can find it outside the EULA is
